octane FIAT BRAVO 2013 2.G Owners Manual

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European specification
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to switch on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for
motor vehicles in compliance with the European
specification EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINEMake sure that the handbrake is engaged and
place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the
clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator,
then turn the ignition key to the MAR position
and wait for the
and
warning lights
to switch off (diesel versions); turn the ignition
key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine
starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They will calculate the overall electrical
requirement and check that the car’s electrical
system can support the required load.
CODE card
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. You should
have the electronic code shown on the CODE
card with you at all times.
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance and its
safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…… important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided
(personal safety)
(environmental protection)
(car integrity).

❒The performance of the parking assistance
system may also be affected by the position of
the sensors. For example, if the geometry is
altered (as a result of wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension), the tyres are changed,
the vehicle is too heavily laden or specific tuning
is carried out that lowers the vehicle.
❒The detection of obstacles at the top part of the
car may not be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could cause an impact with
the car in the bottom part.
AT THE FILLING STATIONPETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
To avoid mistakes, the diameter of the fuel filler is
too small to introduce the nozzle of leaded petrol
pumps.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus
contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in
small amounts or in an emergency, as this would
damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.
MOTORI DIESEL - Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel
whose specifications are not suitable for the
current temperature, it is advisable to mix TUTELA
DIESEL ART additive in the proportions shown on
